Should questions that mis-state or lie about facts in their titles be moderated?

Here is the most recent example:

“After 70 days the White House accepts international help for the oil spill. Is this too little too late?”

All well and good… except (as people in the thread showed) the premise of the question is complete BS. The White House did accept international aid for the oil spill.

Nevertheless, people answered the question as if the situation it describes is reality. Certainly, many more people on Fluther saw the question and believed that it described reality, not right-wing fiction/talking points.

Now, it’s one thing to ask a question like “Did Obama turn down foreign aid for the oil spill?” But this question doesn’t do that. It presents a false statement as reality, and then asks a question based on that false statement.

This isn’t the first such question (I’ve noticed they typically come from right-wing members; another example was something like “47 percent of Americans pay no taxes, what are your thoughts?”). In my opinion, questions like these are incredibly misleading. I have absolutely no problem getting into heated political discussions. I do have a problem with misleading and deceitful question titles.
